The Challenge

A growing healthcare network struggling with diagnostic bottlenecks

A Regional Healthcare Network operating 3 hospitals with 500+ beds across the USA was facing critical challenges in their radiology department. With over 2,000 X-ray and CT scans arriving daily, their team of radiologists was overwhelmed, leading to diagnostic delays that directly impacted patient outcomes.

Patients were waiting 48-72 hours for diagnostic results, creating bottlenecks in treatment planning and increasing the risk of missed findings. The hospital needed a solution that could dramatically accelerate the diagnostic process while maintaining or improving accuracy.

Our AI Solution

Custom computer vision system for automated lung nodule detection

Deep Learning Model

Core AI

Built a custom deep learning pipeline using PyTorch with ResNet-50 architecture, fine-tuned on 50,000+ annotated medical images for lung nodule detection and classification.

  • ResNet-50 backbone with custom classification head
  • Fine-tuned on 50,000+ annotated medical images
  • Multi-class detection: benign, malignant, indeterminate
  • Confidence scoring for every prediction

Real-Time Processing

Performance

Optimized inference pipeline processes each scan in 30 seconds, providing near-instant results to radiologists with highlighted regions of interest.

  • 30-second processing per scan
  • Automated region-of-interest highlighting
  • Batch processing for overnight scans
  • Priority queue for urgent cases

PACS Integration

Integration

Seamlessly integrated with the hospital's existing PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) via DICOM standards, requiring no workflow changes.

  • Native DICOM protocol support
  • Automatic scan ingestion from PACS
  • Results embedded in radiology workflow
  • Zero disruption to existing processes

HIPAA Compliance

Security

Full HIPAA compliance with end-to-end encryption, audit logging, and de-identification capabilities for patient data protection.

  • End-to-end AES-256 encryption
  • Complete audit trail logging
  • PHI de-identification pipeline
  • Role-based access control
